"why did they do this kind of cruel thing....." Shanti tried to held her tears

Ragha went patrolling around the area. Meanwhile, Yana kept his observation on the corpses.

Shanti prayed for them. She couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

"....this also has a sliced wrist...also bruise mark circled around their neck.....and for the women" He confirmed it

"...if this is not some of dark ritual or something, they are really an animal...." His feeling mixed with anger and dispute

"if they do this for.....that stupid reason...most likely Chanotte already..." He mumbled

"sir Yana, could we bury them? this is too cruel"

"of course Shanti. But, if you hear or feel something approaching here, gathered here at the center immediately with Ragha"

"?? understood sir Yana" She didn't understand but she believed in her savior

She walked to the trees and broke some branches. After tied them, she gripped it and casted a skill.

[ROGNIR'S CALL I]

From her body, a white aura came out and covered the branches. Slowly, the white aura took a shovel shape.

"so that's her skill that can manifest anything she could imagine from her life force" Yana already knew everything that she could do

-zrek-

-zrek-

She started to dig the ground. Beast mode was already activated. Hearing the sound of digging, Ragha approached her and helped her by digging the ground using his claw. Slow but sure, they made a big hole to burry all the corpses there.

Yana decided to sit under tree and looked for their surrounding.

"that weird order that the soldier talked about at the bar...must be something to do with this"

Everything started to piece together. All the voices that he heard that night gave him lot of informations to help him making the next decision.

-zrek-

-zrek-

sound of digging still could be heard. He closed his eyes to think and make all the possibilities that might happened.

"still not enough... let's make it bigger"

"yes, you're right"

Almost twenty minutes, before they finally finished the hole. Even with the two of them, that work was still quite hard.

"now, we can bury them"

"i wonder...if they had another ceremony than our way.." Shanti wondered

"even if they do, we don't have that kind of option right now. Or you rather let them just like that?"

".... you're right"

When they started to put the corpses, Shanti realized something.

"something is moving very fast...its direction....!!"

Shanti pulled Ragha's hand and ran towards Yana.

"he..hey, what's wrong Shanti?"

"just, follow me"

They ran and stood near Yana while looking toward the forest.

"sir Yana, i heard something"

Yana opened his eyes and woke up.

"prepared to fight"

"understood!" Both of them replied

-zruuug-

Some tress were falling and the sound was getting closer to them. It was getting closer...and closer....

-whuuum-

A big thing dashed really fast towards them. They only had few seconds to react. Ragha moved forward and prepared to receive the incoming attack.

-buum-

The big impact made a loud noise. Ragha successfully stopped the attack, and Shanti used that chance to give a damage with her claw.

-zraaash-

It didn't hit the target. That big thing evaded it by jumping backward and took a distance from them.

"....what is this thing"

-krrrrrrrrr-

A growling sound could be hear from that thing. It had a long mouth with so many sharp teeth. The scales were blue with glimmered light and also its claws. The body had a long torso with four legs at front and back. The long tail also had this blue scales.

"first time i see something like this"

"hmmm, almost like crocodile but with some different structures" Yana nodded

"I'll distract it from the front"

"got it" Shanti focused to the target

[FIRE BLESSINGS II]

She enhanced her claws. Red glowing light covered them. Her claws now could slash and burn whatever they touched.

Yana stood there, and observed that creature.
